Table I. Amounts of unique and conserved DNA among strains of E.coli.
Strain | Number of ORFs missing (of the 4290 in MG1655) | Amount of unique DNA (relative to MG1655)a |
---|---|---|
W3110 | 82 | 65 kb |
ECOR 21 | 318 | 77 kb |
ECOR 37 | 392 | 1183 kb |
ECOR 40 | 324 | 925 kb |
aCalculated from amounts of missing DNA as determined by filter hybridizations and total chromosome lengths.
